Mace Loves Me!

Yesterday the day began with both boys fighting over their sister -- who gets to hold her, choose her clothes, choose her bows, bath her, and make her smile are all daily competitions at our home. The boys just can not get enough of their sweet baby sissy! We had to take a picture of Ady in her first flower headband that Mace chose for her to wear.

(Notice her shirt says, "Daddy Loves Me")

Keston was so proud of me when he saw her flower ... "Good job mom! You 'grewd' a flower on her head!" That was enough to get me and Mace laughing this morning!

The day went on, and of course, Ady has to poop or spit up through at least one outfit a day -- so after changing her -- and bow too (by Keston this time) -- the boys were ready for food. Adalyn patiently waited in her bouncy chair and went to sleep while I made dinner. She looked so cute so I, of course, had to snap a picture. That is when Mace noticed her bib -- it said "Daddy loves me" just like her previous shirt. Well, Mace just lost it in full on tears! "Why doesn't anything say Mace loves me --- cause I love her the most!" Usually we are not that emotional -- but hunger and an interrupted nap will do it for Mace --- and it was a justifiableargument -- why should daddy be so special :)

Mace proceeded to cry and came to me with a permanent marker, yes he knows where I keep my art supplies. "Move her bib mom, move her bib." Well, after calming him down and finding a white onesie that permanent markers show up great on -- he created his Sissy the most beautiful onesie that I am sure I will have to pull out in years to come to remind the both of them that they do indeed love each other! And now Ady knows that ...

Brendan came home and told me I had to check out your blog. John had told him the story at work. How funny is that! Don't you love that she will always have two brothers that will always look out for her. She is so beautiful!

Happy School Days!

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?

ON TOP OF THE WORLD!

The boys thought John was so amazing to make it all the way to the top! Mace said, "I'll do that when I am nine mom." So, I guess we will be back to conquer in 5 years:)

...ROOOAAAR...

Keston thought the Salt Lake Temple was cool, the flowers were beautiful, but he just couldn't get over ALL those SCARY LIONS!

I CAN WRITE ALL MY NAMES!

Mace was so excited to discover he has 3 'M's and 3 'E's---and he is 3!

YUMMY BREAD!

We have finally started making homemade bread...Mace loves to grind the wheat and SOAK the tops of the loaves in butter! What an awesome little helper. He is always asking me for a job and this has become a fun activity for both of us while brother naps. He is so proud of each batch he helps with and loves sharing with neighbors:)

Daddy's Little Buddy!

I don't know who was more excited to go to Disneyland---Mace or John? A first for both of them!
